~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y'all are gonna need this to kinda keep track of where she's going

The other part of the floor plan will be revealed when we get there
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

《Last time》

She clapped her hands together, "Good! Now that that's settled~! Who wants lunch?"

《Now》

《Gon's point of view》

There's something off about her, I can feel it

I want to trust her, I really do but there's something.... she also knows my name which is kinda weird

Killua broke my train of thought

"Hey Gon? You good?"

I turned to look at him. He was a fluffy cat now

"... Why that fit you so well?"

Kurapika chimed in on this, "He finally revealed his true form to us"

His voice dripping with sarcasm

"I feel so attacked right now"

"Guy's leave him alone! And stop going after Chrollo! We all hate him but still!"

".... I'm literally right here"

We ignored that and turned towards the girl

She's fairly slim but I don't think she's underweight

She reminds me of aunt Mito - san in a way

She's got long red hair and a blue eye

Her bangs were swept to the left side

She's pretty pale, she might be sick or something. If not she's just really pale like Killua.

She had khaki pants and a pale blue sweater on

She pulled out her phone

I could of passed out from shock

On the back of her phone was the symbol of the phantom troupe

I looked at Kurapika

His eyes were red

She looked at him and looked at her phone

She put it away and he calmed down

She pulled it out again, he got angry again

She did that about 10 more times

".... Ok... I'll stop... for now"

She put her phone back up and motioned for us to follow, "I'll make y'all some food. After all, you all must be hungry"

We hesitantly followed

"U-um excuse me?"

Chrollo turned to look at me

"I-it's none of my business but.... is-is she-"

"No. She's not"

"Thank you"

After that we walked in silence

Me and Killua were in the middle, Kurapika and Leorio were behind us, and Illumi, Chrollo, Hisoka, and Kite were in the front if she tried to pull a fast one on us also because Hisoka has to walk in front because he's.... well.... Hisoka and we don't like that

She made a right turn and then another right then descended down a flight of stairs. She kept glancing behind her

She had a poker face on but I could tell by looking in her eye, she was worried

I don't know what's she's worried about

Maybe us getting lost? Only she knows

She made a left after exiting the stairs and we came to another hall

She made a right turn and after what felt like forever we finally made it to the kitchen

It was pretty big and modern but it still had this rustic feel to it

She went and opened the fridge and rummaged around. When she had what she needed she closed the door

She sat it all on the island. She span on her heel and crouched in one fluid motion

She pulled out a pan and stood up

Turned on the stove and spun around to face us again

The red headed girl gave us a kind closed eyed smile

"Now you lot can go explore while I make lunch. If any of you see a brunette girl and or a pink haired boy..... particularly the girl.... Fucking run the other way and pray"

She turned around

"Have fun~!"

We all moved to the hall and positioned ourselves to an area where we couldn't be seen but I highly doubt that she was paying attention to us anyway

Leorio took the lead

"Listen.... we all either hate some persons of interest in this group, we care about someone in here, or we...", he trailed off and looked at Hisoka, "... yeah..... but let's make a temporary truths-"

"Like hell we will!", both Kurapika and Killua said as they stepped forward

I spoke up after their interjection, "Hey let's just hear him out, please?!"

They were still on edge but took a step back

"Well I'm personally interested in what he has to say♤"

A shiver ran down my back. I really didn't like the fact that we're stuck with him of all people but I'd just have to suck it up

I glanced were Kite had been sitting

He was gone from his spot

".... Hey where'd Kite go?"

Me and Killua began looking around. Poking our heads in spaces

Killua turned to the others, "You guys gonna help or what?"

"I choose or what thank you", said Kurapika as he jumped onto an empty table

"What's your problem? Your sass levels are though the roof right now. I'm starting to worry"

Kurapika glanced downwards, ".... I don't want to be here any longer then we have to..... It's just....." He looked down at his paws

Leorio jumped up there and sat besides the blond cat, "It's just what?"

"Every part of my being is telling me to run. There's something off about her...... she's to nice, she knows exactly who we are, she's a hunter.... a dangerous one at that, and.... I don't think we're in our world anymore.... maybe some parallel universe or something.....", Kurapika sighed as he looked down the hall ,"Just forget I said anything...."

Kurapika leaped downwards but before he could land, a hand grabbed him

"WHATTHEFU-"

That's all he could say before being hugged

"Awwww~! Your so cute~!♡", said a girl with chestnut hair

Wait a second....

"Dear god no", croaked Kurapika

"Hannah, let the poor cat go you maniac", said a boy with bright pink curly hair

The presumed Hannah snapped back, "Listen up Zay! Or should I say pink-!"

Before she could finish however, a quick punch was thrown her way

She dodged it at with an unexpected speed and grace

Her movements like a swan

Hannah dropped Kurapika down, whom immediately ran into the kitchen

She balled her fits at her side, looking on with a murderous intent before she released her hands and a small sadistic smile creeped on her face

"Your in for it now"

"She's a sociopath"

I jumped a little and whipped my head around to see Kite sitting besides me looking on at the scene

I looked back just in time to see her hands cupping her mouth

Zay looked horrified at what she was about to do, "No don't-!"

"HOPE!!!!! ZAY TRIED TO HIT ME!!!!!"

The noise in the kitchen stopped

Kurapika came running back out

He looked scared

"Guys she-"

Before anyone could register, Hannah and Zay were pinned on the ground with their hands behind their back

"Why me Hope?!", shouted Hannah as she struggled to break free

Hope released their wrists but before they could get up she laid on them, their backs to her back

She tucked her arms behind her head

"I ain't moving until you lot apologize to eachother. OK? OK."

"But Hooopppoeeeee", Zay and Hannah whined, "He stinks!/She started it!"

"No buts young hearts"

Hannah sighed and clasped her gloved hands around Zay's, "I'm sorry I tried calling you pinky and trying to getting you in trouble"

Zay retracted his hand and looked away from Hannah and grumbled, "I'm sorry for trying to hit you..... I need to learn to control my temper, and how to take a joke"

Hope smirked ever so slightly before she got up

When they both rose I was finally able to take in their appearances

They looked like they went through hell

Scratches, bruises, bite marks even littered their bodies

They were covered in blood

They had these little crowns on that looked to be untouched

They reeked of something... it smelled something like wet dog, dirty water, and bleach mixed

Hope held her nose and gagged

"I've smelled that for over a decade or something but even now it still makes me gag", she took a couple of steps back

"Go take a shower you lot! When you're done I'll dress your wounds and make you both lunch! Kay?"

"Ok kaa-san", said Hannah mockingly

Zay elbowed her side and shot her a glare

They both retreated down the hall seemingly quietly arguing with one another

The red haired girl sighed and looked at us

"I'm sorry bout them. They share a single brain cell sometimes. The brunette with yellow eyes is Hannah and the pink haired boy with freckles and heterochromia is Zay but I guess you guys already knew that huh?"

She chuckled and turned, "Foods ready by the way"

She walked towards the kitchen leaving us

I shifted my gaze towards Kurapika, "What's heterochromia?"

Kurapika started following her, "You seen how Zay had a Purpleish pink eye and a light blue eye?"

"Yeah?"

"That's what it means. To have two different colored eyes"

"Oh"

We started to follow Hope

When we got in there she was pouring milk into a small bowl and diluting it with what I presume to be water. She grabbed said bowl and a plate and sat them on the ground next to the island

She carefully sat down next to it and motioned for us to come

I was the first to go

I sniffed the diluted milk before I drank from it. I hadn't realized how thirsty I was until now

She softly giggled before petting my head, "Whoa there ya green jelly bean! Slow down! Leave some for the others!"

I could hear Killua snickering before he joined me

He must of been thirsty too but I had already moved on to the eggs and little smokeys by then

The others slowly joined us

When we had had our fill the bowl and plate had been licked cleaned

Hope was sitting on a stool eating strawberries and drinking tea. She smiled slightly seeing us satisfied with our meal, "Should I make more or something?"

Hope got up and moved towards a door on our left. She quickly opened a door and shut it just as fast. At first I didn't think she got anything because it was that quick but I was proven wrong when I seen a large case in her hand with a large red plus on it

She moved back towards the island, sat the first aid case down and pulled out two bar stools

She picked up her phone and unlocked it. She unplugged her headphones and played something

(There Beneath - Tho Oh Hellos )

"There.... Beneath the willow tree", she began to sing

"I learned a lot about the way things"

Her voice.... it was hypnotic...

"Gon... look", Killua said looking towards the sink

I looked

The pan was washing itself

"I learned that everything"

"The wind, the leaves", said voices that couldn't of came from the phone. They sounded like they were right next to my ear. Soothing me like Aunt Mito did when I couldn't sleep

"Has breath inside
They we're pointing ever east"

Everything was being cleaned by something. The windows wiped down, invisible hands putting dishes in the cubbarts, invisible hands drying and washing dishes, the marble tops of the island and the cubbarts being wiped down, a broom seemingly being held by no one sweeping.

Hisoka had the same idea as me, everyone had the same idea as me, we looked to Hope. She was dancing. Swaying with the rhythm. She was one with it

Out of the corner of my eye I seen Hannah and Zay. Behaving as if this was a normal wednesday afternoon. Invisible hands cleaning? Yep! Typical day here! Nothing weird about any of that! They were dancing with eachother. Him twirling her around. Her loving every second of it. Them both giggling and laughing. Drowned out by the melody

"To see the ever-turning aeon cease"

She was ballroom dancing with someone who appeared to not there until a lilac mist with a purple light emanating from it formed a silhouette

It stood between 5 feet 10 inches to 6 foot

I slowly started to make out features. I could tell it was a man. He had a hook nose kinda like Kite but he had these gentle eyes. His hair was flat. He looked somewhat regal. They looked at eachother with love in their eyes but there was something behind Hope's eyes.....

"... Longing....", whispered Hannah as her and Zay stood still

".... To be with Simon again.....", said Zay as he shifted uncomfortably

"Their wills were ever bend on waiting with all their might"

"I know" "I know"

"I know this
There is beauty in the way things"

She stopped dancing, he stopped as well

"There... beyond the palisade"

They looked into eachothers eyes

"I saw the morning lead a cavalcade"

I felt lighter. Like I was floating

"They made a marvel of a display
And it made me cry 'o lai'"

I looked down. I was floating. I looked around frantically, everyone else was floating too

There was a swirling purple mist surrounding our feet/paws

"O lai" "O lai"

Something was creeping down to her hand.

"O lai lord"

She squeezed her eyes shut and covered her ears

"There is beauty in the way of things"

The song cut off abruptly and we all fell to the ground. Luckily we weren't up high

Hope ran to the trash can and flipped it open. She proceeded to vomit up a mix of blood and something else. Something dark. She slumped down on her knees

"HOPE!", Hannah yelled as she ran to her aid

"W-what do you ne-need me to do?! Wha-what all do you need?! Water?! Strawberries?! Vitamins?! One of my experiments?! I'll get whatever you need! I-"

Hope held her finger up to hush the girl

"Water, toothpaste, and a toothbrush....", she dryly chuckled, "I don't think I need one of your experiments kid... I don't feel like peeling off my dead skin, turning into an animal, or whatever the hell else you got kiddo."

Hannah helped her stand. "Me and Zay aren't that younger than you Hope.... you're what? 25? We're like 6 years younger than you...."

...What

Hisoka choked

Chrollo and Illumi were taken aback

"Ex-fucking-cuse me?!(♡)", all of us excluding myself said

Zay chuckled looking at us, "Even the cats are surprised"

Hope giggled, "You guys do look what? 12? It can come as a shock to hear that you both are 19"

Hannah chimed in, "Yeah well you look like you're our age"

Hope removed her arm from the chestnut haired girls grasp, "I do get ID checked regularly at a bar"

All three laughed at this

Zay handed the bright red haired girl- I mean woman a toothbrush and paste, "There you go Hope though you breath doesn't sink"

"Well K.H it's to get the taste out"

Hope walked towards the exit but turned to look back at Hannah and Zay, "Sandwiches are in the fridge". And with that she left

Hannah retrieved the sandwiches with glee

She hopped on the barstool and began quietly munching on one. Zay soon joined her with a sandwich of his own

We sat in blissful silence as we began to process the events that transpired moments ago

"I think we need to do some investigating..... I need to stay positive... for Killua's sake "

I look over at Killua. Still stunned by what transpired.

"I hope he'll be ok"

《Hisoka Point of View》

(A/N: I know these suck to be in the middle of the story and their annoying but holy fuck did I hate writing this. I'm shaking as I type this. But this part {If you can even call it a part} makes me so uncomfortable so.... warning)

"That tremendous surge of power when she began singing. It must be apart of her nen ability. ♧

That hypnotic voice. Like the finest silk ♤

Her movements. So fast, so graceful ♡

That beautiful face. So easy on the eyes ◇

Oh how she reminds me of Gon ♧

That fire in their eyes ♤

That burning passion ♡

It really turns me on ◇

Oh how I'd love to see her break. ♧

To see her face, contorted into pain as I stand over her.♤ The victor.♡ It will be me and me alone.◇ But....♧ It be a crying shame to see her go....♤ someone so beautiful, someone that strong, that fast, that graceful, so kind.....♡ It be terrible to see her go....◇ but....♧ something is telling me......♤ Danchou isn't the ultimate pleasure, Gon isn't either, neither is Killua though Illumi has made it clear that I'm not to kill him ♡

she's the ultimate pleasure....♧ She'd be the greatest challenge that I could ever face.....◇

I'm starting to get excited just thinking about it!♧

Be patient Hisoka!♤

Wait for the fruit to ripen....♡ "

(A/N: Thank whatever the fucks out there, it's over)

《Illumi's Point of View》

".... Hm..... That was odd..... but for her voice to possess that much power...... but the real question is what caused her to vomit up blood and that black odorless substance?"

《Chrollo's Point of View》

"I don't remember her being apart of the troupe..... In fact I've never seen her before in my life.... perhaps a fan of some sorts? But that substance that she vomited up......"

《Kurapika's Point of View》

"Hm..... What's her connections to the spiders? What's with her voice? I wish I knew..... We'll all have to do some investigating later...... I- ..... I want to talk to Chrollo in private...... about why....... That's the one true answer I need......"

《Killua's Point of View》

"We'll have to do some investigating later..... Gon should be excited about that heh....... but in all seriousness we need answers......."

I looked over yo Gon to see him looking back at me

"Even in this form, it's nice to know that he's still the same"

I looked down at my once hands, now paws, "Right now..... I need my sun..... more than ever"

《Kite's Point of View》

"Did no one notice how nature responded? I swear I seen a plant grow and two cardinals, male and female, a blue bird, female, and a dove, male, sit outside the windows listening..... We need to do some investigating"

《Leorio's Point of view》

"Excuse me but what the actually fuck just happened?! I'm going to medical school! Not the school for the supernatural! I'll ask Kurapika later but I think we all agree..... we need to talk about this and do some investigation"
